What is the width of a room that is 40 ft in length and has an area of 1200 sq ft?
Width: 1200/40 = 30 feet
If a hypotenuse of a triangle is 28 ft long and another side is 50 ft long what is the length of the other leg?
The hypotenuse is always the longest side so the triangle, as described, cannot exist.
The side lengths of a rectangular room are 6 ft and 8 ft. The room is going to be split in half along the hypotenuse of a triangle using string. Find the length of the piece of string needed.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 10 feet which will be the length of the string needed
If one leg of the isosceles right triangle is 2 feet long find the length of the hypotenuse?
Isosceles triangles have two sides which are the same length and two angles which are equal. So if your right triangle has one side of length 2 feet, which is not the hypotenuse, then the remaining side must also be 2 feet long. We know that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the squares of the other two sides. 2 squared is 4. So the squares of the two sides are 4 + 4 which equals 8. Now we just find the square root of 8, which is 2.8284... So the length of the hypotenuse is 2.83 Feet (to two decimal places). Or, In a right isosceles triangle, the two base angles equal 45°. Since the length leg is 2 ft, then the hypotenuse length would be equal to 2√2 or approximately to 2.83 ft. sin 45° = leg/hypotenuse hypotenuse = 2/sin 45° hypotenuse = 2/(√2/2) hypotenuse = 4/√2 hypotenuse = 4√2/2 hypotenuse = 2√2 °
What is the length in feet of the hypotenuse of a right triagle with legs that are 6 feet long and 7 feet long respectively?
9.219 ft
